The central tree in the patio is an awesome place to relax after a walk or visit around one of the many sites in the San Pedro surroundings. The small pool is refreshing, and having the restaurant/bar makes it very pleasurable. And Don Raul is very nicely located. You can walk anywhere.

This hotel is in a good part of San Pedro de Atacama, right off the main strip of “downtown.” There are lots of restaurants, travel agencies, and shops nearby. The hotel is clean, and the facilities are nice. The breakfast is very good. My only complaint is the water in the shower did not get hot, and I’m not sure why because hot water came out of the sink faucet. The breakfast is good, and the staff is friendly and helpful.

Don Raul is a good value. It’s clean and friendly and conveniently located. It does not have any extra amenities though and the bathrooms are tiny. One more we woke up and did not have any power or water. This was fixed quickly so not complaining just something to be aware of when you are trying to decide whether to shower at night or in the morning before a tour. Overall would recommend.

Pretty hotel though a little down to basics. We were allocated an older room that was small and had poor lighting but asked to be switched and the new one was a big improvement. All around a good experience

The hotel was the last one on the main street and therefore easy access of all restaurants. The breakfast doesn't start until 7:00 AM and almost all of the tours in Atacama start around 5:00AM and we didn't have breakfast even a single day. In fact all the tours in every part of Chile starts around 5:00AM and the breakfast doesn't start until 7:00 or later. We were only able to have breakfast for one day of our 13 day tour in Chile. Its better to book hotels without breakfast to avoid paying extra cost.

We paid for a Deluxe room (US$160 aprox.) and they gave us a small room next to the kitchen, that was extremely noisy, dark, smelly and hot. When we asked about our room to the hotel employee (Ruben), he told us that there was a mistake with our reservation and there was nothing they can do for that night given that the hotel was overbooked. Next day they moved us to a room more quiet, although not the deluxe room that we had booked and pay. When we checked out and tried to arrange the price according to the rooms that we stayed in, the empoyee of the reception (Eduardo) only repeated that the hotel did not have any responsability on the "mistake", and he was not willing to cooperate at all in order to solve the money ishue. We had to beg him to write an email to the person in charge in order to create a "case" and TRY to get our money back. To this date we have not receive any news or formal apology, much less the reimbursement of any amount.

Nice and quiet hotel
A nice hotel just outside the more busy central part of the town and therefore a quiet place to stay. It is connected to a nice restaurant which is open until late, allowing to arrive late and still have a dinner.

Truly ordinary
We booked this place late when the only other option was $12k per night. We paid US$150 per night. The room had a double bed, a table and 2 chairs. The bathroom had a shower, 2 towels, one bath mat, 2 shampoos and 2 conditioners and one soap. That is the sum total of the rooms amenities. No heater, no hairdryer, wifi for a minute at a time. The walls are mud rendered polystyrene blocks and not remotely sound proof. You will hear every conversation your neighbours have. We did not get wifi in our room but could usually get access by walking around the hotel trying to log into separate sections of the wifi. In short, it’s truly ordinary and grossly overpriced. Breakfast was included and this was passable. It’s sweet cereal, akes and ham, rock hard bread, cheese and tomatoes. We also had dinner there and that was considerably better. Drinks and the happy hour are worth doing. Our friends had a similar experience but they had wifi and no hot water for three days. My advice. Book early. Go elsewhere.

Great base of operations for the Atacama.
The hotels in San Pedro are pretty pricey. This seemed a decent bargain. The staff were super friendly and helpful. I had a bit of a problem with the room the first night and they changed it right away the next morning to a very nice room. Breakfast is terrific. Facilities are under expansion which impacted the atmosphere a bit, but I would recommend this place. Location is ideal. Hot water was an issue a few times but that may have been because of a power outage.

good place, but poor client services
The bathroom is so small and we had problem with the hot water, some times (3 of 5) the water was cold or freeze and we needed to go to ask many times to fix it. The reception desk didn't have maps and moreover the didn't know how to get to many touristic places like Lakes or Dead Valley. The bed creaked each time that we change of position The best thing, was the continental breakfast.

Comfortable hotel
Very comfortable hotel with clean and warm rooms. Staff very helpful. Rooms are on single storey blocks leading away from reception area which means Wi-Fi signal was hit and miss in the room. Bathroom was on the small side but hot shower was excellent. Not a big deal as lots of seating around reception area.
